::Thanks Hylian King. My hesitation stems from me being out-of-the-loop on policy the last couple of years. I'm not exactly sure what the procedure for merges/splits/disambiguation is at this point (though you seem to have clarified). It looks like this topic is going to come up a lot for A Link Between Worlds. Lorule and the Dark World share a lot of the same location names...even though the two places are completely unrelated. It's very odd. --[[User:Yumil|Joshua (Yumil)]] ([[User talk:Yumil|talk]]) 17:47, 29 November 2013 (UTC) | ::Thanks Hylian King.

::::I'm not sure if this really changes anything, but I just want to point out that in the Japanese version of A Link to the Past, both the dungeons and locations had identical names. The Thieves' Town and Village of Outcasts are both simply called Village of Rogues in the Japanese version, while Skull Woods and Skeleton Forest are both alternate translations of the same thing (Skull Woods being the accurate one). Misery Mire and Swamp of Evil is another example, both the dungeon and the location are known as the Devil's Swamp in the Japanese game. | |||
::::So my basic point is that Thieves' Town in ALBW is intended to have the same name as the Village of Outcasts, much like the Misery Mire is intended to have the same name as the Swamp of Evil. That's why the locations appear to be named after the old dungeons, rather than the old locations. | |||
::::This doesn't really change anything as we work with the localized names and these technically aren't the same locations as they're in Lorule (uh, except they kind of are the same...), but it's worth bearing in mind for each of these pages. {{:User:Fizzle/sig}} 13:54, 5 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
